Psychological Processes and Consequences during the Dissolution of the Parents’ Relationship

Abstract

Families have been undergoing numerous changes recently. In the last few decades fewer and fewer couples get married and nowadays every other marriage ends in divorce. Primarily, it is a problem because of the negative psychological impact children are affected by. Another tendency is to live alone or live apart together, which forms of living make a negative effect on childbearing. As it is a huge problem affecting the whole society, it would be very useful to create and establish a support service, through which parents would receive legal and psychological assistance for the resolution of their conflicts and to cope with the loss, in order to facilitate future cooperation. Couple’s therapy and mediation would be accessible to anyone as part of the service.
